Still waiting for the thunderstorms forecast for most of the last week.

Rain woke me about 3am.  At the 3 sites I record rainfall: 20mm in the village,  20mm at orchard #1 and 15mm at orchard #2. The orchards are 5km apart as the crow flies and the closest to the village is 3km.

One good thing came from the high wind we had in Cha Am the other night. 

A large tree was uprooted and crashed onto the roof of a bar near my place.

Yesterday the owners came and started taking all their junk away

1 annoying Thai bar down, their is a God after all

The storm finally arrived, very high wind,hail and rain, but it was over

in 15 minutes,that was it.

I think they said before the chance was 10 percent, and you lost out. Now it's 40 percent so it might get soggy. Dust off your brolly, but if it's windy be careful that you don't do a Mary Poppins.

It finally arrived ,and it was blowing very hard,heavy rain and hailstones.....then it stopped,

and the electric went off,as it always does when it rains or wind blows,was off about an hour.
